Abstract
Bryophytic polsters and surface samples were collected from four sites in Shannon and Carter counties in the SE Missouri Ozarks to determine modern pollen rain. Regional pollen rain and variation in the local pollen rain are reflected by modern pollen spectra. Regional pollen rain was calculated by averaging the percentages of the various taxa in the pollen spectra from the 10 samples collected. In this area the average regional pollen rain is dominated by Pinus (18.5), Quercus (51.5), Carya (4.4) and Ambrosia (8.7). The data are consistent with the mosaic of pine-oak and oak-hickory-pine forests characteristics of this region.Keywords
